Player Watch #13: Darcy Tucker

[The Nostradamus]

What role is that pray tell?

That was his best game for the year IMO, but it made little positive difference to the result.

Half back flank as opposed to wing

Looked good there happy for him to keep playing that spot

I’m pretty sure the shit Tucker will be back next week.

But miles in front of Taylor and Scott who are dogshit bad.

 

[Ischenko]

He definitely got a lot of the ball in defensive 50

Well yeah he was playing defensive wing/half back and we had like 40 inside 50s. That ball was down there a lot. He rebounded well and defended well. He’s not a star but does that invalidate his game? Have a go at our mids who were mostly beaten or our half forwards who provided little pressure when we did get it forward and no aerial threat when we did run it out of D50.

He said was shit last week, he was good this week. They tweaked his role a bit and he played better.

i been defensive of scott as he had some credits, but the kitty is looking pretty bare atm,

I reckon if you dropped a footy from the top of the Rialto tower it would reach your foot quicker than Darcy Tuckers ball drop.

They should harness his ball drop to use in space travel.

 

[ferball]

To be fair tho he was good.

Worked harder than most of the mids.

 

[Mute Point]

Just a tip for the future, if you're having a shot for goal 40m out directly in front, you need to kick the ball OVER the man on the mark.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Depth at best. A long way from best 22. Fumbles, missed tackles, average disposal.

 

[gustev]

our next captain

Last 2 games are the best games he's played for us. Might not be the answer for the future but where we are at as a club he's best 22 going by the last couple of games

 

[King Corey]

Very honest and paradoxically can have both neat skills and appalling judgement. That kick into the man..l

 

[The Warlord]

Strong body when it counts, will be one of the first replaced as we improve but he's playing his role for now

 

[The Warlord]

Worth adding it was his big mature body that collected Duggan and forced the stop in the game that allowed us to reset and win.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He was ok.

Tucker was there, but it was a head clash of WC teammates.

There's going to be at least one "WTF?" moment every week, no matter how well or poorly he plays...

Liked his game in the first half seem composed but that second half was one of the most reckless half’s of football from a senior player I can remember for a while. Every time he got the ball in the second half he would throw it on the boot straight into the hands of awaiting Collingwood players. Just a rough estimate but I reckon he did this about 6 times. He and lmac were a big part of the reason why we collapsed. Compare them to Collingwoods experienced players it’s light and day when it’s crunch time

 

[Possession]

He should have kicked that goal at the death. Seemed like he was kicking it to an encircled Larkey in the pocket, but he had a good look, space and time, and needed to take the game on himself. A senior player that doesn't step up.

 

[tazaa]

His move to half back has been good but bloody he’ll he goes to water under pressure.

Belting the ball forward. Barrels and torps out of defensive 50.
Wtf.

Then that snap on the left. Come on mate

 

[Engimal v3]

I thought it was the best game for the club so far. He had influence on the game, rather than simply "being there".

His best game was a couple of weeks ago against Porta I reckon.

Great couple of months from this chap. His move to a HBF allows Sheeze to play MID/FWD and Scott to take a wing. Great coaching Clarko

 

[Northwards]

I think he’s a smarter player than some of us have him credit for, Has probably sensed the writing on the wall as a winger. Not as quick as Scott, Kerch, Stephen’s or even Ford at times.

He’s been given a new role at HB as sheez been rolled up the ground and has honestly been very solid since he’s been there.

He’s simplified his game and is playing better as well more reliable.
Good to see players adjust and tweak their games

 

[Jonnoo]

He took an absolutely poleaxing in one contest and did not squib it at all. Got up sore then ran to make a handball receive. He’s a tough nut.
